α2 Receptors in the lateral parabrachial nucleus generates the pressor response of the cardiovascular chemoreflex, effects of GABAA receptor

In conclusion, the LPBN is essential for the chemoreflex responses. The pressor response of the chemoreflex, at least partly, is produced by α2- adenoreceptors. GABA in the LPBN inhibits the cardiovascular system. Finally, there is no interaction between GABAergic and adrenergic neurons of the LPBN in producing the cardiovascular chemoreflex.
